Cost: [-25]
Bad Sight (B123) is a physical, mundane disadvantage that initially came in two forms:, Nearsighted and Farsighted.
Toolkit 2 uses a 3rd form called Low Resolution.
Mitigators[]
- Glasses (TL5+[note 1]; -60%)
- Contact lenses TL7; -60%)
It is referenced in GURPS Space, p. 221, on its possible disappearance in future societies.
Notes[]
- While things like astigmatism and cataracts can be covered by this disadvantage in extreme cases neither glasses or Contact lenses will totally negate these conditions. In fact, in the US one can become legally blind even if one can still see. It generally is considered 20/200 or less in the best eye even with corrective lenses.
